Time's
03:45

The clock, ringing midnight
Urges us to reminisce
About our vanishing fight
Against time's stateliness
Ironical solecism
Chronos to me is a curse
The Sword of Damocles
And an ersatz damnation
I multiply my dreams
Not to face my schism
I hate you passive listeners
For your massive ignorance
Looking away while time passes
Is beyond my contrivance
The clock, ringing ,urges me to reminisce
About my vanishing fight

Curtains down

No longer myself in here
I just can't stand to be normal
The crowd's kisses of pestilence
And the blacked remains of our influence
Make these hours long to go
Make my imagination go crescendo
And I'm no longer myself in here
I know
I just can't stand to be normal
Number 8 in the eleventh row
But you're like me
Hauntingly narky
Now pretentious
Now agonized
I can read into your eyes
No longer myself in here
I just can't stand to be normal
This is a pledge for autarchy
And we'll bleakly chant for autocracy
So come along, muzzled of course
And sing
By way of afterword
No longer myself in here
I just can't stand to be normal
As always

Write
Erase
Recite
Replace
Ignite
Deep space
Hold tight
Gun case
Geometry
All around me
30 feet square
Of soliloquy
Walking with Quinn
In City of Glass
Drawing maps at random
In the inertial mass
8 hours have passed
Since my ultimate collapse
Walking with Quinn
In City of Glass
Write
Erase
Recite
Replace

Bohemian intermission
05:44
|
|||
|
We will stop for a moment
Just the time to breath
Just the time to write our expression
and speak our emotions
All the pictures i see
are from another world
With a well stronger color
from a better world

The bridge of Sighs
04:30
|
|||
|
Not at all times
would this have been enjoyable
Standing beside him on a bridge
Dividing a mutual past
midnight
On the Bridge of Sighs
The quiet waters of Venice
and its tangle of lanes
Reveals a hideous, shifty sight
Another ghostly appearance.
From the cornices of my palace
and smothers a squeal of delight
In my eternal residence
I used to witness ominous quarrels
That ended up in the canals
I can still remember my sudden obsession
For any piece of information
A sulky trespasser's transformation
the mean sensation of confession
Today my grey hair embody the archives of the Past
Again he returns to his punctual haze
Midnight
Yet strangely my memories are dying fast
Such a peculiar gloom must provoke rumor and death
But it is all stupefaction, nevertheless
weather, time and place
What mattered to me was his face
But it is all stupefaction, nevertheless
Nevertheless I cast his features out
When I come to realize
That I've always enjoyed the spectacle.
I'm such a dying race
On the Bridge of Sighs

Another moral dilemma
04:12
|
|||
|
I have a sort of melancholy, satisfaction in being here
Not really what I had foreseen
Racking my brain, slumped in that train
Trying to make a difference between me and them
Another moral dilemma
Are we faking triviality
Speak louder I can't hear ya
How I love that cacophony!
My independence is a fiction
I have multiple addiction
Yesterday full of hatred like no other
Today eager to be a father
All in all
It makes no sense
If you take a look in our direction
You will all see a pleasant image
If correctness is our public version
It's totally different backstage

Pandora's box
04:23
|
|||
|
I arose from the box of Pandore
And as my pathetic brothers, who are strangers and nothing more,
I am but a conceited plague
So, indeed, the feeling of mental discomfort is vague
My mind selects her own society
I can't help it
There is a pair of us inside of me
But no contentment
